Announcement: Bloguru Server Security Update with Downtime (06/25/2024)

Jun

19

We’re happy to announce that we’re upgrading our operating system (OS) for Bloguru's server.

We’re upgrading our OS from Cent OS7 to Alma Linux 8 since there will no longer be technical support for Cent OS7 after June 30, 2024, in a continued effort to strive towards making sure our hosting service is the safest it can be. With this new upgrade, it will help patch any vulnerabilities to defend users against cyber threats and also support new encryption protocols.

However, updating the OS will result in about 30 minutes of downtime. You may not be able to access your Bloguru admin panel as well as your posts during this time, so we thought you should know ahead of time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This server upgrade will occur on:

*USA Pacific Daylight Time
- June 25th (Tuesday) 10:00-10:30am

*Japan Time
- June 26th (Wednesday) 2:00-2:30am

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 (preferred) or email us at support@pspinc.com.

We would be happy to answer any of your questions by phone or email.

Legacy Theme to be Discontinued

Nov

29

"Picnic Blanket" is used on this blog.

Thank you for using Bloguru.

As recent statistics show, more than 80% of people now access the internet from their smartphones. For those of you who are long-term Bloguru users, we have kept the legacy themes, which are not mobile-friendly. However, in this smartphone era, we believe that we should move toward more responsive designs that are compatible with smartphones.

Advantages of responsive design:
・Mobile-friendly, making it easy to view on a smartphone
・Easy-to-read text on all devices
--> Better user experience and lots of views!

Therefore, we are pleased to announce that we have decided to discontinue the legacy themes after January 8th, 2024 PST.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would like to ask you to change to one of the Responsive themes before then.

If you are using one of the Legacy themes as of January 7th, we will automatically switch your blog to the "Picnic Blanket" theme.

-------------------
To change the theme:

1. Log in to Bloguru.
2. Click on "Themes" from the navigation at the top of the page.
3. Click on the "Responsive" tab.
4. After finding a theme you like, click on it.
*Click to apply the design you have selected. There is no "Save" button.
-------------------

If you have any questions, please contact us by emailing bloguru@pspinc.com.

Bloguru: Updates to the Wow evaluation buttons

Nov

7

We’re excited to announce that we’ve made two updates to the Wow evaluation buttons on Bloguru.

1) We’ve replaced the Wow icons with three new emojis, so now, you’ll have more options when reacting to posts and/or comments. *The previous number of Wows has been converted to a green smiling icon.

2) Before, unregistered, and therefore, anonymous, users couldn’t use Wow icons to react to posts or comments, but now anyone can use the new emojis to give their feedback.

To view your post reactions, go to your Dashboard and click on Latest Activity.

You can also see post reaction numbers on the My Posts tab in the Bloguru admin panel.

If you have any questions, please contact Bloguru Support.
